Trump: “I was smiling as I looked up and around. The MANY reporters with me were smiling also….And yet when I saw the reporting, CNN, MSNBC and other Fake News outlets covered it as serious news & me thinking of myself as the Messiah”

Personally, when I heard Trump’s comment about being the “chosen one,” my first thought was of Oprah once gushing that Obama was “the One” and the fun the right had with that for eight years. Compounded by Obama’s bizarre assertion that his 2008 nomination would be remembered as when the oceans stopped rising and the planet began to heal, it quickly became “The Chosen One” and the “Teh One.” After Obama’s snippy “I won” to the GOP, it became “Teh Won.”

Having lived through the Obama years, I just shrugged and figured Trump was sarcastically poking at the media as he is wont to do. After all, they spent the Obama years in a leg-tingling fever of awe-struck, sycophantic groveling before their chosen one.

The media is as completely unhinged now as it was then. They have simply flipped from tying themselves in knots excusing and running interference for Obama to tying themselves in knots to excoriate and “resist” Trump. They simply cannot not take the bait and end up beclowning themselves. They don’t seem to mind the very real risk of (still further) alienating the public with their clear and deranged anti-Trump bias.

He’s clearly having fun here. He mentions that previous presidents (ahem, Obama) should have taken on China on trade and did not, then he sort of spins to his left and dramatically looks toward the heavens before lightheartedly saying he’s the “chosen one” on trade with China.

He concludes by pointing out, quite rightly, that he was elected to work on deals that put America first. He campaigned on doing so and won his election, so he’s not wrong.

Pretty much nothing to talk about, right?

Right. But the joyless and hate-filled leftstream media went nuts anyway.

The president took to Twitter to explain the obvious: he was joking, it’s called sarcasm.

When I looked up to the sky and jokingly said “I am the chosen one,” at a press conference two days ago, referring to taking on Trade with China, little did I realize that the media would claim that I had a “Messiah complex.” They knew I was kidding, being sarcastic, and just….

….having fun. I was smiling as I looked up and around. The MANY reporters with me were smiling also. They knew the TRUTH…And yet when I saw the reporting, CNN, MSNBC and other Fake News outlets covered it as serious news & me thinking of myself as the Messiah. No more trust!

The dishonesty of the leftstream media is not surprising, but it is becoming increasingly tiresome. They like to run tallies of Trump’s supposed “lies” and “misrepresentations,” but they’d do well to turn that penchant for counting lies and misrepresentations on themselves.

This confirms that the left and the msm have zero humor. They only understand snark when they use it. Just like the time, DJT said “Russia help us find hillary’s e-mail” or something to that effect. They used that joke to try and convince people that he was actually asking for Russia’s help! I wonder if they have heard the one about “Two a$$holes on a camel”?

Such humorlessness is actually a symptom of mental disease, usually schizophrenia. Not if demonstrated once or twice, but in the event it is continuous. As it is here. People can and do make themselves mentally ill. And it can be irreversible.

“The egalitarianism and welfarism of modern liberal government are incompatible with the facts of human nature and the human condition. But the rise to power of the liberal agenda has resulted from the fact that the people of western societies have irrationally demanded that governments take care of them and manage their lives instead of protecting their property rights. This misconception results in massive violations of those rights while permitting government officials to act out their own and their constituents’ psychopathology. The liberal agenda gratifies various types of pathological dependency; augments primitive feelings of envy and inferiority; reinforces paranoid perceptions of victimization; implements manic delusions of grandeur; exploits government authority for power, domination and revenge; and satisfies infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation.”

The media’s response was actually creepy. An indication that they believe their own fake news. That they live in a delusional world filled with hatred and a fantasy view of America and their place in society.

I was in DC earlier this week at a meeting. The hotel lobby had CNN on the screen; this was a couple days after the comment had been made by Mr. Trump. Now whether it was real, in jest, whatever, I don’t know. But it was TWO DAYS later and the chiron on the screen was STILL blaring this out.

I hoped you complained to the desk. My TV shows in doctors offices in my blue state have now moved to a cooking channel or a home improvement channel with great success. People waiting actually talk to each other about what they are seeing.

The sarcasm is obvious from the substance. He was talking about being burdened, about being stuck with a job others should have done, not about being favored. If he was even more explicit — “Oh lucky me, the chosen one” — the Fake News would still say messiah complex.

When Ronald Reagan was in his first term he was asked to throw the ceremonial first pitch at an MLB game. I want to say it was an Allstar game. Reagan took the mound and the catcher moved out in front of the plate to make it an easier throw. Reagan motioned him back behind the plate and then threw a strike.

But President Trump is correct. He is.

He is the Chosen One, chosen by “We the People” by the rightful Constitutional way.
